Sephora by OPI Three Way Mirror

Happy Monday? Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Today I have Three Way Mirror from Sephora by OPI for you. As I am sure you are all aware, you can no longer get these at Sephora, but I do find them occasionally at my local Winner's store. I'm still sad that this line was discontinued.
Three Way Mirror is a creamy brown leaning rose shade. Had I been more careful in applying it would have been a one coater for me, but I used two. Self leveled to perfection. No issues at all.

I really liked the way this shade looked. It went very nicely with my skin tone. I would also classify this as work appropriate, but I guess that may depend on where you work. Although these aren't readily available, I'm sure you can still find them on ebay and in swaps.
Hope you enjoyed the swatches!

I Gotta Blush On You...

I Gotta Blush On You from Sephora by OPI. I found this at my local Winners! Available at Sephora too! I'm always on the hunt for a nice nude. Who would think that they could be so hard to find.

Following the name, I Gotta Blush On You, is a blush toned neutral. With my skin tone this appeared to have a bit of a brown undertone. 1st coat was streaky, but the 2nd almost completely covered. I did a light 3rd coat just to touch up a bit. Great formula. Photos taken outdoors in the sun. With top coat.




Strangely, this gave me a bit of lobster hands. I didn't expect that with this shade. Of course that all depends on individual skin tone. Sadly I don't think I'll be wearing this on its own again, but I can see using it for nail art. This is just based on colour. It did have a great formula and good coverage. Do you have trouble finding nice neutrals? Thanks for stopping by!

Julep Kelly and Penelope

I was in the mood to swatch some nude/neutrals today. Not sure why? I chose two Julep shades, Kelly and Penelope.

KELLY is described as a blush creme. I think it leans a bit to the peach side. Went well with my skin tone, but I can see how this wouldn't suit for everyone. Formula is a bit thin and required 3 coats. I found it to be streaky, which you'll see evidence of in the photos. I do like the colour. Maybe with a more careful application in wouldn't look as bad?




PENELOPE is a pink/blush creme polish. Exact same formula as Kelly. Photos are 3 coats. Again, a bit streaky. Another pretty colour though!




So, what do you think? Do you wear neutral colours?
